Hi! I’m now working as a freelance writer and editor, mostly for people in the EA community. I can help you get out those Forum posts that have been languishing in your drafts, or articulate ideas that are bouncing around your head. If you’re interested, email me at ambace@gmail.com, or book a quick chat in my Calendly.
Location: London
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: Probably not—I’d consider places near London, or temporary relocations further afield.
Skills: writing, editing (samples below); research (non-quantitative); teaching
Notes: I’m mainly looking for freelance working writing or editing individual projects, but I’d consider an ongoing full-time or part-time role if it was an excellent fit.
Available from and until: from now, indefinitely
Here are some writing samples:
A few of the posts that I’ve written for and with others.
And if there’s a new post (which I’d encourage!), I have a few opinions on things to maybe improve (though I think the current version is really good, this is not a complaint)
Also commenting to see if there are plans to create a new “Who wants to be hired?” thread—as I think it could be very beneficial to job-seekers like me!
I don’t know of any immediate plans, maybe we can make a post but not pin it?
Of the 46 people that replied to me from this thread, 4 found something, but —one was a short-term collaboration —one gives a 70% chance they would have been contacted anyway, he had already met the employer at a conference —one was both a short-term collaboration, and they don’t think they were contacted because of this thread —one was a three-month contract
And 10 people found an EA job through other means: - One from an org they were volunteering at —One from posting in an EA Facebook group —One after applying to various org following an 80k 1-1 advice session
I think most of the others were the results of directly applying to things, so I would recommend the approach in When in doubt, apply .

Hi Amber, this post was meant to be May—September, so I’m afraid not many people will see it :(
I don’t know of a better place to post this, but keep in mind that it’s unlikely you’ll get any views here.
Thanks! Do you plan to make a new thread for November+? It seems like a good idea.
I also posted something recently here,

Hey Yonatan! Please share them! The forum team is working on these things afaik (even if mostly on the job ads side)
